I would like to give a shout out to Principality. My first 6 month regular saver matured today. £200 transferred to a new issue 3 and the balance to my nominated account in accordance with my maturity instructions all by mid morning 

First Direct should ask them how they do it 

That's great to know as mine is maturing tomorrow with the same maturity instructions, not that Pricipality have ever got any of my maturity instructions wrong to date, so that's a super shout out in itself!

My FD reg saver matures on the 10/05/25.

I kept the old account it merged into last year as was told it would make the process quicker.

Any bets on how many days it take to payout, Plus let me open a new one ?.

Mine was done in 2 days, including them taking the first deposit for the new regular saver

I would hope same day, and next day.

First Direct Regular Saver

 Mine matured today. It disappeared from my balances yesterday and as yet has not been credited to the savings account left open from last year.

Mine matures tomorrow (8th). I'm not sure when it disappeared from the view (I didn't look at it at weekend), but it wasn't showing yesterday.  Based on my previous experiences, I expect to see the balance transferred to my savings account tomorrow and to be able to apply for the next RS and with a bit of luck have it opened before this weekend, but it could be different this time, you never know with FD.

. Even though your current FD regular saverdoesn't mature until tomorrow, if it is no longer visible you should be okay to open a new one now. 

It will still take a day or two to show up though.

My last FD RS matured on Feb 4th. It took a day for the funds to arrive into my savings account and I was able to apply for a new RS which took another day to open and take the first payment - 2 days in total.

Done it. Thank you!  That was a great advice! It says up to 3 days, so there's a good chance for new RS to start this week. If I waited until I see my funds in savings account there would probably be no chance for this week.

My FD RS took 5 working days to pay out, not impressed. New one opened and funded in 1 day though which was good. 
Similar to @dingling68 my Principality matured, paid out and opened a 2nd Iss 3 the same day.

First Direct Regular Saver 

Just logged on and although the money isn’t yet showing in my saver account, the “your account is maturing” message was no longer showing and I was able to open a new regular saver

Same with my Principality issue1.  Matured today, 2nd iss 3 opened and funded (the same account number as the closed account) and the rest of money arrived to my bank account at about 11am.

First Direct regular Saver

Mine matured on Sunday 4 May and the funds arrived in my existing First Direct savings account on Bank Holiday Monday 5 May.  I applied for a new regular saver and am waiting for it to be opened.
